I don't do purses, unless I go to work. So forget sticking one in there.

I hike a lot, especially in summer = wearing light weight closing.

Are there any particular issues concealing a gun being a female?

Any suggestions on what the best way is to carry it on me?

Today someone showed me a pocket holster. If I get a small revolver such as the Taurus Ultra light 38 special, it may work.

Are there any other places on my body pratical enough to conceal a gun?

Women don't tend to do well with concealment holsters right on the hip like men do. Generally, either forward of the hip (appendix carry) or behind the hip (on the kidney) are better. In addition to hip shape, women also tend to have shorter torsos, making it difficult to draw from high riding holsters (though this can vary from woman to woman). If this is an issue, a holster canted towards the rear, carried just forward of the hip can be helpful. Some women like carrying a holster originally designed for cross draw carry in this position.

For more suggestions on this The Cornered Cat website has some good info.

I just glanced at it and already bookmarked it for more detailed studying

It's harder for the girls to conceal and still remain fashionable... you might look into a SmartCarry... If I were a woman, a SmartCarry would be high on my list...

A pocket holster or a small fanny pack maybe your only options considering, no purse, probably no belt, and the hiking...

Not trying to be a wise guy, but some woman are able to carry within their blouse. This may work for the right handgun.

Check out the first post in this thread. Episode 8 of the ProArms podcast has the 2 girls from ProArms giving their opinions on this very subject. Good luck, and good hunting!
